Deer start to arrive in the garden
Things have been pretty quiet here the last few weeks. The nights are dropping in and many of the birds we have seen throughout the summer have vanished to warmer lands or there are just a few hanging around. We are still seeing some robins and blackbirds, but most of the grackles have gone. Of course the squirrels are still about, not much puts them off, but the chipmunks have nestled down for the winter now. We just have one who is a bit braver and comes out occasionally.
We have had the deer start to come back though. A mother and her baby came by yesterday and I managed to get a couple of quick snaps before they ran off.
We also had the sharp shinned hawk pay a visit.
The weather is starting to get cooler, but still pretty pleasant, at least there is no snow here yet! Daytime temps in the mid teens on a good day and high single digits on the cooler days. We have had a few frosts too.
